Thursday - Clear and sunny, warmer

A good day.

I got up this morning and did my usual X-Files watching plus tea and cereal bit. It was good. I had no idea if F would be home for lunch or not, so I waited. Of course, he didn’t come, but there was a Pretty Little Liars catch up show on, so it didn’t matter.

I did a two mile workout today by mixing a couple of videos. I did Intervals first and then finished with the end of the two mile walk. It worked rather well as I got a cool down at the end.

Over the course of the afternoon I watched a bit of TV, did some stuff on the computer, had lunch and a shower, and saw F when he popped home for a few minutes.

I scanned my cards around 4 pm and then at 5ish ran them off to the mailbox. I made good time and got in a bit more exercise. Yay me.

I came home and started getting dinner together. I decided to make the pasta in the new microwave pasta cooker that I got on the weekend. I had to make F tell me what it said though! We had pasta with a bought sauce and a bought salad today. Yes, I didn’t do a lot of cooking! It was quite good, the pasta cooker, but I did have to give it some extra time as the first time I checked the pasta it wasn’t quite done yet.

I put the pasta in our bowls and we ate. It was a simple, but nice dinner. We finished up the last of the smoked salmon too. It was still good, but beginning to get a bit dry. Afterwards, I let F off the dishes because I really hadn’t done much actual cooking. He appreciated it I think.

We had a fairly quiet evening from there. I watched a few of my TV shows…Bones, Bates Motel and Nurse Jackie. For the first two I started my latest craft project, and then had to re-start when the size was a bit big.

And that was my day basically. Tomorrow I might go out in the afternoon if I get around to it, or not. I’m also cooking dinner tomorrow night, so I might do something extra for that. I’m not really sure yet. Come back later and find out. Until tomorrow….

As I read this book I had a couple of thoughts....She was very racist, although she would probably not have realized so as a product of her time. The other thought was how little things have changed in Japan since her travels! Oh, of cou...

I enjoyed this group of short stories. The first one is the best by a longshot, but the others have interesting ideas. Be aware that there is a lot of sex in the last short story and it is quite graphic.
I would be interested in reading...
